Verboekhoven is a planned Brussels Metro station on line 3, between Colignon and Riga.
The station's design had to be changed after complaints from residents. The new northern section of line 3, which includes the station, is the most difficult part of the construction project. Completion could take ten years. In June 2023, Beliris asked for help from the Belgian Government, following a series of delays and cost overruns. As of December 2022, construction of the new line was expected to be complete in 2032.
The station's entrance will be a short distance from the Place Eugène Verboekhoven/Eugène Verboekhovenplein. Construction requires expropriation of two large buildings.
